I would like to upgrade my memory. I have found a seller on ebay and a 2GB memory chip for £37. What I can't seem to find on the net is a grapical how-to installation guide. I've searched you tube nothing there even! My comp does not have a seperate memory cover like most laptops, so I'd have to take the whole cover off! Can anyone help??

The Dell Studio 1737 has two memory slots.

Having had a Google it would appear that indeed at least one of the memory slots does live under the keyboard. The other one is classed as easily accessible so you should find its available under one of the bottom panels. It's most likely under something else.

Just to update, upgraded laptop NP. There are 2x 1GB slots, one under the other, located just under the main cover, lower mid-centre. I removed one 1GB and replaced it with the 2GB chip. I am disappointed, I really would have liked 4GB!!
